Top Trump government officials warned on Thursday that Russia poses a sustained threat to the American elections with his influence operations: “democracy itself is in the crosshairs.”

Top national security and intelligence officials, has raised the alarm, while a high-Power White House press briefing, raising the concern about foreign operations, the exams are a threat for the 2018 medium-and also the 2020 election.

“We continue to see a pervasive messaging campaign by Russia to try to weaken and to said parts of the United States,” Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coats.

The briefing the administration showed the renewal of their public commitment to combat the Russian threat, only a few weeks after President Trump’s face, the width and cross-party criticism first of all, accept appear that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s rejection of interference in their summit in Helsinki.

But the National security adviser, John Bolton, in a new letter to the senators, said Trump has been a“huge, government-wide effort” for the protection of the US electoral integrity.

“A single attack can be widespread and cascading consequences. … Not only a danger for prosperity, protection of privacy, and infrastructure,” Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said. “Our democracy itself is in the crosshairs.”

Coats said the threat is “real” and “training” and “we throw everything.”

“Our focus today is easy to tell the American people we recognize the threat,” coats said. “It is real. It is more. And we will do everything we can, to a legitimate election.”

Wray added: “As I have said, consistently, Russia is trying to influence the election campaign and continue to engage and influence operations to … and this needs to be taken very seriously.”

Coats said that the current Russian efforts as “robust” as in the case of the election of the 2016 cycle, but that Moscow has taken “numerous” other strategies to influence public opinion through the media, social media, bots and proxies — “with the intention of … a wedge, and undermine our democratic values.”

Earlier this week, Facebook revealed the “sophisticated” efforts, and possibly of American politics associated with Russia, influence in the run-up to the midterm elections. The social media giant said in a blog post that it is fake far 32 accounts of Facebook and Instagram, because they participate in the “coordinated” political behavior and seemed to.

Other methods of cyber-have been revealed to influence, which surfaced last week, a report that Russian hackers supposedly used to selectively staff of Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., with a sophisticated password-theft System. The hack was apparently not successful, but an example of Russian intervention practices.

Other U.S. officials and legislators, foreign actors were directed. Coats told reporters on Wednesday that the intelligence of the community to be processed, the type of the information through the house or Senate leadership and the dissemination of results up to the individual legislatures. Coats, though, said he could not release, no other name.

“The Russians are looking for any opportunity, regardless of party, whether he be the said for the choice, still omnipresent efforts to undermine our fundamental values” and coats.
